Chapter 45 Framed
Someone is recruiting.
——Who recruited and what?
Many doubts swirled in everyone's minds, and all eyes fell on the person who came in to report.
The Queen Mother held Nanny Gui's hand and said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
The man replied: "Yucui Palace, the bright moon."
Bright moon, bright moon. Really bright moon!
Ling Youyao seemed like she couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Fu Mingjue stiffly, and Fu Mingjue happened to be looking at her. His eyes were indescribably calm, and everything seemed to be under his control.
But is this really the case?
Soon, Mingyue, who was covered in blood, was dragged in.
Concubine Zhou Shu opened her eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief. Mingyue was her personal maid, and the two of them were now grasshoppers on the same rope. No one could live alone.
Mingyue knelt in the main hall, her thin body like a flower swaying in the wind, but there was indifference on all sides, not even sympathy.
"Did you inject the poison?" The Queen Mother's sharp gaze was directed towards Mingyue, as if two knives had penetrated her body.
Mingyue lay on the ground and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the poison was not caused by the servant."
"Didn't you do it?" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became sharp.
Although Mingyue was kneeling on the ground, her black and white eyes were exceptionally clear. She said: "It is true that the poison was not caused by the slave, but -"
She paused suddenly, and her eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and finally landed on Ling Youyao.
Ling Youyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard Mingyue say: "Before the prince brought the crabs in, the servant saw Princess Jing and the prince stopping at the pavilion, and Princess Jing also asked the prince what they were wearing there.
"
Her words seemed to say something, but they seemed not to say anything. They were clearly implying something, but they seemed to just state a simple fact.
But it was such ambiguous words that set off a storm in everyone's heart.
If she was just Ling Youyao, then she must have been wronged, but Mingyue was talking about Princess Jing, not Miss Ling Er.
This shows what?
——There is only one reason why Princess Jing wants to poison His Majesty, and that is because King Jing intends to rebel!
rebellion
When this word appeared in the Queen Mother's mind, she was shocked and looked at Fu Mingjue beside her in shock. His eyes seemed to say: It's you? It really is you!
"It's you." The Queen Mother raised her hand angrily, but when she met Fu Mingjue's eyes, she didn't have the courage to strike.
When he was young, Fu Mingjue once looked at her with such eyes. Although he called her "mother", his eyes were cold to the bone.
At first, the Queen Mother just thought that the child had been abused by the Ronggui people and had a withdrawn and cold temperament. But as time went by, she realized that Fu Mingjue was not a victim, but a wolf cub hiding his fangs!
She had known for a long time that such a day would come. She should have expected that this day would come.
When Fu Mingjue faced the Queen Mother's question, he only said: "She only said that she had seen the princess talking to the father-in-law who delivered the crabs, but she did not say that the poison was administered by the princess."
Ling Youyao also came to her senses at this time, stepped forward and said: "The Queen Mother clearly knows that although I have said a few words to the prince, I have never touched a crab. If you don't believe it, you might as well ask the prince to come and ask.
talk."
The fire finally started, but Ling Youyao didn't expect that she would be the trigger for this good show.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over and said: "Go and bring Wang Yuan up!"
But the person who came up reported: "Wang Yuan couldn't stand the beating and is already dead."
died?
The only person who can prove Ling Youyao's innocence is actually dead?! This time, there is no proof.
The situation instantly fell into condensation. At this moment, Mingyue suddenly said: "The Queen Mother, I have evidence."
"What?!"
The word "evidence" was like a thunder on the ground, and everyone fell into a dead silence. Then they looked at Ling Youyao, with different eyes, one was shocked, one was gloating, one was angry.
The other spectators were shocked, Su Lingxi was gloating about the misfortune, and only two people were angry——
"What nonsense!"
Ling Youyao heard the news and went away, and saw the young man in her memory, wearing a crimson official uniform, standing in the crowd of people, extremely independent, with a misty coldness in his eyes.
——It’s Shen Xuhuai.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Qingyan also stood up: "My sister-in-law has a pure nature and would never do such a treasonous thing."
Ling Youyao lowered her long eyelashes to hide the strangeness in her eyes. If her elder brother helps her to speak, why do you have to get involved, Shen Chao?
Shen Xuhuai's eyes fell on her face for just a moment, and he said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, I think this person's words cannot be trusted."
He was talking about the bright moon.
The Queen Mother suppressed her anger and said: "She has evidence, don't you have it too?"
"Who knows whether her evidence is true or false?" Shen Xuhuai's eyes were firm and unafraid at all.
"presumptuous!"
The Queen Mother gave a cold shout, and the whole hall fell silent instantly.
Both parties hold different opinions. Should they trust Princess Jing or a palace maid?
When the two were in a stalemate, Fu Mingjue said: "Since she said she has evidence, we might as well see if her evidence is true or false."
Shen Xuhuai pursed his lips and said nothing, but he supported it.
Ling Youyao believed in Fu Mingjue unconditionally, at least he would not let others harm her, "The pure will themselves clean up. Since Miss Mingyue has evidence, let's bring it out."
Mingyue raised her eyes, with a hint of ruthlessness in her calm eyes: "The evidence is in the hands of Princess Jing."
Ling Youyao looked at her hands. Except for the scent of crab meat left when she peeled crabs for Fu Mingjue, there was nothing else. Could the evidence Mingyue said be the plate of crabs?
When the Queen Mother heard the sound, she immediately ordered: "Come here, hold down Princess Jing!"
"What is the Queen Mother doing?" Fu Mingjue's eyes turned cold.
"What to do?" the Queen Mother asked angrily, "She is now a suspect in murdering His Majesty. The Ai family didn't let anyone tie her up, so they gave her face! Is it possible that you still want to defend her?"
Fu Mingjue had a cold look on his brows and said, "She is Er Chen's wife. Shouldn't Er Chen protect her?"
These words struck Ling Youyao's heart deeply, and this was what the blatant defense was all about.
But Su Lingxi was so jealous that Shen Xuhuai could only protect her. Even the prince came forward to defend her, so why should Ling Youyao do it!
The Queen Mother was extremely angry and gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, okay, you can protect her. If she is really the poisoner, the Aijia will punish you as well!"
What kind of crime is this? Murdering the emperor is a capital crime!
Everyone knew very well that since His Majesty ascended the throne, only Fu Mingjue and the eldest princess remained in the capital. As for the other princes, they were either killed by Fu Mingjue or sent to remote fiefdoms.
With such a big scourge around, no one can rest assured. It seems that the Queen Mother has made up her mind to take this opportunity to get rid of Fu Mingjue.
Fu Mingjue said calmly: "If the evidence is conclusive, I will leave it to my mother's disposal."
"In that case." The Queen Mother sneered, seeming to believe that Ling Youyao was the murderer, "Envoy Sun, go check Princess Jing's hands."
